Greetings -
I need instructions on how to migrate settings and messages from
Evolution 2.28.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an ancient computer to Evolution
3.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 on an old (i.e. 3-years-old) Dell Inspiron 530 computer.
In 2008, I received the following instructions on how to migrate my
settings and messages from an older version of Evolution on SuSE 9.2 to
Evo 2.22.3.1 on Ubuntu 8.041. In Ubuntu 11.10, I can't find
/home/kelly/.gconf/apps/evolution so, obviously, I need to do something
different. I would appreciate any help.
TIA Kelly

A. In the old Evo, open a terminal and kill backend
sudo evolution --force-shutdown
and
sudo gconftool-2 --shutdown)
and then copy /home/kelly/.evolution and
/home/kelly/.gconf/apps/evolution to a DVD
B. In the new system, move the existing /home/kelly/.evolution and the
/home/kelly/.gconf/apps/evolution folders to a Temp folder and replace
them with the above folders from the DVD.
C. Correct the permissions by running
sudo chmod -R ug+rw /home/kelly
and
sudo find /home/kelly -type d -exec chmod ug+x |{|} \;
[ or change |{|} to '{}' ?]
D. Open Evo 3.2 and follow the on-screen instructions.
